NINETY In THE SHADE
Was the Hottest Official Weather
Yesterday.

"Whew, but this is ScOrcher!' ejac-
ulated several of the oldest inhabitants
yesterday, as they mopped their scantily
chiefs. 81 think l will go home and
get ready for the lake for the balance of
the season."
AT this juncture, as a rule, an accom-
modating friend appeared on the scene,
and in few minutes there was sub
dued glug, glug, glug, as a
brace of mint juleps disappeared
down two capaci0uS Threats. Soda
water fountains were running at the
fullest speed all day long to quench the
appetiteS of thirsty mOrtalS for some
thing cooling and refreshing, and the
faces behind the drug store counters
were consequently wreathed with
smiles. Perched on the top floor of the
Chamber of Commerce building was an
Individual who took matters very cO0lly
and sat in his shirt sleeves taking note
of the weather and forecaSting what a
day might bring forth. This was the
representative of the signal service, and
when tired GLOBE representative,
after long pull up the numerous
flights of stairs, the elevator having quit
running, entered Uncle Sans apart
freShing breeze from the north which
made life more endurable.
1.-THE thermometer only registered 80
in the shade at noon to-day" said the
observer, ''and that was the highest
point it reached. About month ago
l think it was the 9th of May-it ran up
to 81 ON our roof and that was
THE WARMEST DAY
we have yet had. 1 have no doubt that
in the sun to-day the mercury showed
up above the hundreds, and besides the
atmosphere has been of soggy, sitting
nature, which made the heat more tell
ing. But men on the streets with WOODEN
clothing must have thought they were
being roasted, although we had it rather
pleasant elevated as we were. My re-
ports show general rain to be pre-
valent in Dakota, and it is making in
this direction, so that cooler weather
will soon be experienced. According
to the reports from st. Paul and the
other portions of Minnesota the tenn
perature for May was the warmeSt that
we have had for fifteen years, the mean
temperature being higher than the
famous summer of 1881, when so many
cases of SunStr0ke occurred. AT st.
Vincent, Moorhead and Spring Valley
the temperature May 10 was 96o and
for st. Paul May the maximum reached
81 >, the lowest being May 8, when it
was So. Reports from the various
parts of the state show the rainfall for
May to have been decidedly deficient,
save in the Northern portion, in the Red
river valley and Lake Superior region.
At La Crosse only half an inch of rain
fell during the month, the lowest
recorded since signal station was eS-
tablished at that point, while at Duluth
4.93 was registered and 3.57 at ST. Vim
cent. We will do what we can to give
cooler weather to the good people of st.
Paul, and if we fail it is not through
any fault of ours"

greatly to the attraction of the opera.
In the evening the chorus had another

GREECE AND HER PEOPLE.
An Address by DIR. Smith Before
the Hamline Societies.

DR.. S. g. Smith, of st. Paul, gave an
eloquent address on "Greece and Her
People," before the four literary so
cieties of the university yesterday after
noon. The speaker was introduced by
j. II. Beck, of go, president of the lee
ture bureau. The doctor spoke with
great earnestneSs, holding the strict at
tention of his audience throughout the
entire discourse. He began by Il
description OF the beautiful journey
from the world renowned harbOr of
MeSsina, which he considered the most
picturesque sight he had ever beheld.
The time is gone, the speaker said,
when Athens can longer furnish a
monarch of her own. The Greek letters
in modern Grecian newspaper is all
that is left of ancient Greece. The
same skies are overhead, the waves
beat upon her shores as of old,
but she is gone. Here we are
brought face to face with the
Eastern question. Old races have
run their course and are not. The
rough Sclayic in the North has vigOr,
manlinesS and power; the Austrian has
life, and the Saxon on his isle has sig
nificance and will have for thousands of
years. These three are struggling to
see what they can do for Greece. 1t is
a question which one shall rule. Let
no one lose any sympathy on the
poor Egyptian or the poor Greek. There
is no Greek. He is gone. believe
with Thomas Carlyle that the greatest
blessing that ever came to mankind is,
when they cannot govern, to be gov
erned; and SO the world still
HAS PLACES FOR KINGS,
and will have for hundreds of wears
The speaker described at length the
beauties and SublinitieS and religious
rites of ancient Athens, and asked:
what meant these scenes? Did re-
ligion mean simply mockery both to
priest and peasant? He could not be-
Heye it. They were feeling after God.
In fountain, in deep woods, they found
symbols of that mysterious being
found representations of that mighty
power which works towards righteous
ness. POlytheism lived not because it
was lie, but at heart it was truth.
Men must worship God or die. There
was never so happy race as this one
living in the sight of the eye and in the
spirit of freedom. Sounding from the
theaterS comes music. From them
comes representations of actual life of
the people. The Greek idea was not
that the drama made people bad, but
that bad people made the drama bad.
They solved the problem how to make
religion dominate the social life. The
problem to-day is how to demonstrate in
the temple. on the street and in the
home our Christian religion. They
reached their elimination in Alexander,
man disciplined and educated under
Aristotle. Remember that great men
like Caesar, Napoleon and Beaconfeld
were men who were disciplined and
trained in all the learning of their times.
Alexander solved whether the Orient or
the Occident should rule. If he had
failed no Christ could have been per-
hapS for $500 or 5000 years afterwards"
